Kim Kardashian wishes pal Ivanka Trump a happy 43rd birthday ahead of presidential election

Kim Kardashian wished Ivanka Trump a happy birthday on Wednesday.

The reality TV personality took to her Instagram Story to send well wishes to her friend on her 43rd birthday and share throwback photos of them together.

Kardashian, 44, posted a selfie of her on a night out with the daughter of the former president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The SKIMS founder — who is close friends with the former First Daughter as well as Lauren Sanchez, the future Mrs. Jeff Bezos, as the truth behind their bond is revealed — puckered her lips and pouted for the camera while Trump beamed beside her.

'No one sweeter than you,' she wrote alongside three white heart emojis in a birthday tribute to Trump. 'Happy birthday.'

She also shared a photo of her and her gal pal, dressed to the nines in eye-catching looks at a glamorous event. 

Kardashian tagged Trump and added a birthday cake emoji at the bottom right corner of the snap. 

Trump acknowledged Kardashian's well wishes and subsequently reposted the snaps to her own Instagram Story.

Even though Kardashian has avoided making a public endorsement for the presidential election, she does have history with Trump and her father, the former president.

However, Trump has noticeably stepped back from her father's campaign run this time around even though her husband Jared Kushner said they will continue to support him in his endeavors. 

Despite it all, Kardashian still returned the favor as her friend had also helped her celebrate her latest birthday and appeared in an episode of her family's reality show, The Kardashians. 

Both Trump and Sanchez, 54, were spotted among the A-listers arriving at Kardashian's birthday party from a June episode. 

They proved to be at the top of Kardashian's innermost circle as Trump sat directly on the right while Sanchez was two seats down. 

Kardashian and Trump's friendship dates back to nearly a decade ago and strengthened after they began working on prison reforms together at the White House. 

The pair reportedly bonded over motherhood and becoming new moms at the Met Gala in 2014.

In 2023, a source told Us Weekly: 'Kim and Ivanka have been friends for years and have hung out on a number of occasions.' 

The insider added that they 'initially bonded ... over motherhood and being new moms. But they continued to connect numerous times over the years.' 

Over the years, they have been seen together on a number of occasions and their friendship deepened. 

In 2018, the pair was seen posing side by side at the White House, where Kim was petitioning Trump's father, then-President Trump, to commute the life sentence of drug offender Alice Marie Johnson. 

By 2020, Kardashian was gushing about her pal's father online. 

'President Trump commuted the sentences of three really deserving women. I didn't hear much about it in the news, so I wanted to share with you their stories. 

'I have the pleasure of spending the day with these women today along with Alice Marie Johnson, who helped to pick these women,' she wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, at the time.
